GTA 5 questions

[elkido122]

I was wondering if an i7 4790 and an r9 290 tri-x edition with 16gb ddr3 will max out this game at 1080p? If no what would it take? Thanks

yea it will

At 60 fps

Truly define max out for your likings. Because if you want every setting cranked to the max you need 980sli preferably Titan Sli assuming you want 60 fps.

Now if you don't mind to compromise a few setting here and there your setup will be great for GTA V. It's those last bit of settings that really call for everything you got to offer.

What would the preferred settings be to achieve 60 fps and still look great

Should be able to max out on everything without MSAA. If you want to max + MSAA, you'll need a Titan X, R290X CF or 980 SLI.

Yeah you can definitely max settings at 1080p on GTA V. With MSAA performance will be below 40 fps in few scenarios. With some overclocking you can get it close to 40 fps.

Both these tests are actual gameplay tests with fraps recording instead of the inbuilt benchmark which a lot of other sites use and which does not reflect actual gameplay performance.

Not at 60 fps. That needs a oc 980 min.

Not at 60 fps. That needs a oc 980 min.

A 980 will not max @ 60 even overclocked. You will need Sli / Crossfire,
or maybe a heavily overclocked Titan X (though Doubtful)

There are so many settings.

With fxaa, you can run everything on max minus perhaps the grass. I run the grass on ultra but sometimes i dont like the frame rate going in the low 40s. The grass on ultra will be hard to run with MSAA......well, on the outskirts of town. The city is fine

it wont be 60fps everywhere. GTA 5 has very brutal areas. The frame rates depend on your location. I get mostly 50-60s with vsync on. But there are very demanding locations and i dip below 50. Luckily GTA 5 is pretty well optimized and the experience doesnt suffer too much. But i would be lying if i told you that i havent been thinking "i wonder what the titan X would be like"

With an overclocked 980, I can max out everything with 2x msaa + txaa. but the grass is brutal in the country and outskirts of town. With fxaa, it is better but still it isnt where i want it. Grass on very high, that is much better.

You will be able to max out almost everything. Go easy on the MSAA. FXAA is okay. You need some AA in this game, that is for sure. SuperSampling, anything.
Not sure if TXAA will work with AMD hardware, but i do find it to be the best as far as the ingame AA options go

I think it's important to list what resolution you are playing in as well. Is that at 1080p?

Also, dang only 2x msaa? You need 4x to get rid of the dithering effect in the distance. At least on AMD GPU's.

I have been using 2x MSAA + TXAA + MFAA.

Also, I have been playing on a 46" samsung smart TV (1080) and my trusty old LG monitor (1680x1050). it was my secondary but........

I also run the 980 at 1450mhz for gta5. memory is overclocked slightly as well (7600mhz).

now that i am in the country, i have been experimenting with fxaa and grass on ultra. I think the grass is so much better on ultra but the hit is pretty extreme

Not true. I get 50 FPS at 4k with 2x290x's

And you don't have every settings cranked up either.
